Hahaha OP you know that the more you try to ban this stuff the more your kid is going to want to listen to it right.
If you really want to keep your kid away from it, try telling him how cool you think it is. |

I agree with the above. But OP you should talk to your husband. While I too love, love Cardi B. I understand her place in the trajectory of hip-hop - Cardi comes from a line of hip-hop women flexing their own power, like the guys do. That said, I think 11 is too young. Your husband sounds cool though - perhaps instead he should teach your son about hip-hop history to provide some context. As a hip-hop head when I was much younger it bugs me when my kids don't know the origins of the music they hear today - Bruno Mars, for example, is the best music thief around - his music is a straight re-mix from the 90s. Anway it's worth having a conversation with your husband about this. |

EXACTLY!! That is some ignorant mess!! We have a a generation of young idiots who think singing/rapping/talking about their coochie is some form of self-empowerment. They just sound stupid and self-demeaning. HELL NO! My 11 yr old is not purchasing, buying that crap in my house. Maybe he will hear it, listen to it outside of my presence, but AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE... And yes, we will talk about the content, our feelings about the lyrics, what we feel are the problems with the message and how it contributes to a culture of mysogyny and materialistic bulls*** |
